"Communication is the essence of human life."

Gina's Background

I obtained my bachelor's  of science degree from University of Wisconsin - Whitewater and shortly after, received my master's of science from University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee. I then completed my certification of clinical competence (CCC) through the American Speech Language Hearing Association (ASHA), which is a nationally recognized organization for certifying speech pathologists. I continually am updating my knowledge by obtaining various certificates or completing intensive programs such as Feed the Peds, AAC Ally, Managing AAC in the Classroom, and following the neurodiversity movement for more affirming therapy toward autistic individuals. 

 I have experience supporting a variety of populations and age groups by working in both educational and healthcare settings. I have worked with individuals ages 1-21 who demonstrate speech, language, or communication impairments and challenges. Some current areas I serve include assistive technology and communication (AAC), stuttering, articulation, expressive/ receptive language delay, social communication, and much more. I work to provide functional therapy that clients can take with them beyond a 1 on 1 therapy setting in order to carryover strategies and skills. This may include providing therapy in the community, in the home, or wherever may be necessary to provide the best possible outcome. Bee's Knees Speech Therapy wants to help you achieve your goals in the way that you see fit, therefore I always make sure to include caregivers and clients in the therapeutic planning process. I am here for you!

Bee's Knees Philosophy

Bee's Knees is focused on building connections to create progress toward speech goals. It is our philosophy that movement and laughter are the key to successful outcomes. Bee's Knees is dedicated to following neurodiversity-affirming practices and empowering autistic individuals to be themselves. The premise of our practice is that family-centered and child-led therapy will produce more significant outcomes than traditional structured therapy. Bee's Knees is here for you
